Oooh, poor mister snake! Golf kills snakes! And just imagine telling your whuffo friends that not only did the plane contain suspect-looking people who all had knives, but there was a snake too. Good thing you had a parachute! Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

The best games are ported to mac and will probably run very well on your new computer's graphics accelerator. Smart things? "alt-apple-esc" If any application misbehaves, you can kill it with this command. More effective than the windows task manager. I've had to use this quite a bit, as I run unstable beta software from time to time. Adressbook synchronises with your bluetooth mobile phone if that phone uses v-cards. Don't buy anti virus software, but do keep your computer's operating system up to date. aMSN is a great replacement for MSN messenger, it supports video chat and is significantly faster when transferring files than msn messenger. It uses the same network and login. Grapher is a really cool graphical caltulator, but this might only interest nerds. Your computer will remember the password to your home network. It can also remember other passwords to other networks, and recognize them at once. It you need a fixed IP adress at one place, then go to a place where they use DHCP, your computer will remember, so once you've made the initial settings, you won't have to do anything to get online. Neat, huh? Your computer will probably ask you to install something called "flip for mac" when you try to play wmv videos. It's a plugin for quicktime player that allows you to play wmv files. I hope this was of any help!

The only thing that helps if you want to jump and it rains, is sacrificing to the gods: Buy beer and spirits, and get so drunk that you're 100% unairworthy the next day. Then the sun is nearly guaranteed to shine. Shure, you won't get into the air, but others might.

I don't do it for the rush, that's just an extra bonus sometimes. I do it to fly my body, that's what I love about it. You might want to read up on BASE jumping before deciding on it, there are articles on this site about it. Also, about your tandem jump: if things are hyped a lot, and said to be "the greatest kick", then you'll easily disappointed. Maybe there is no such thing as "the ultimate kick", only different degrees of fun, or boredom. Maybe you have to make the most of what you get and that it's ultimately up to you how much fun you have. I've had OK jumps, boring jumps and jumps where I was tracking away, thinking : "OMFG, I'm the best, this is sooo cool, don't forget to open parachute and land, now!" Skydiving is very different from paragliding, for one thing we pay for altitude and then burn it, while paraglider people gain altitude by flying. It's also pretty short and intense, and very social. The really fun stuff is done with your friends. Just my thoughts.

Wow! How cool! How big is it? I want it! edited to add: Oh, 190 is a little on the big side, you can keep it. Post more pitcures of it?

If you had naked photos of several male DZ.commers, what would you do?

You ask as if that was a hypothetical question. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you? -
At 17 jumps I couldn't even exit stable. Just keep landing safely and you'll get better. Have fun!

Well, I just try to keep my foot high. Otherwise I'll have to eat a lot of funny, pink pills. Just to answer your question. I'm bored too. Heal fast, dude! Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

"Jumper bitten by Mamba on skydive" ... No, wait, it was a mamba, not a Mamba. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

Oh shit! Snake on jump plane? can't we even feel safe when skydiving? Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

That's new to me! I see a lot of these things. I think I'll write down all the names and make a collection. I miss the "kill" command in Windows. Task manager doesn't always do the trick. If there's a process that I don't like, I just squish it under my thumb. That's "kill". I like that. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

Seriously so does going into spyware controls/adjustments & reset them accordingly after you have determined, which running program(s) they tend to, pop up interfere which, most frequently. Some of them can be turned off in that way, others are more stubborn, and requires registry hacking. I think there was one called winantivirus pro that was really difficult (registry), and Pestcapture was also pretty hard to get rid of (Spybot search & Destroy got that for me). In some cases, the computer is so contaminated that the smartest and most efficient way of getting rid of them is reformatting and reinstalling OS.

Adaware http://lavasoftusa.com/ Works pretty well too. Removes most annoyances. Failing that, I too, would recommend the sledgehammer, or simply accelleration. By throwing the damn thing out the window. Reinstallation also does the trick. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER!

Well, you can get results just like that with the modern, reliable Airtech Cypres. I wasn't there, but this is what I'm told: Freeflier on the way to altitude finds out that he forgot to turn on his Cypres. No way is he gonna jump without it on, skydiving is dangerous, and espescially freeflying, so there, at 6000' in the unpressurized jump aircraft he turns it on. There. Ready for a safe skydive, with all safety gadgets turned on. No need to tell the rest, but I'll just finish: Out he goes at 12500', and gets a little surprise at approximately 6750'. And that wasn't a misfire, just as that sentinel fire probably wasn't a misfire. It just did what it should. Oh, and this is definetely from the old days. It happened a couple of years ago.

Oh, sure. The body needs artificial sweeteners and caffeine. Or you could just drink water. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

I hope you talked to her about skydiving and risk and your priorities. Then she'll be able to make a qualified decision. On the other hand, that kind of empty threats really go nowhere, IMHO. I remember this girl I met who said that she would leave her BF if he used cocaine again. Well, he did, and she din't want to leave him after all, so she just put herself in a difficult situation. So then she was maybe going to leave you anyway. Good luck and happiness ever after!

Annika is also a traditional nordic girl's name. I think it's nice, how about making a short version of it or something?

I saved up money by buying cheap clothes and food for half a year and got a new rig. Hard work will get you there. Good luck! Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

Get it! Really cool book, full of crazy stories to keep you interested, and really good tips that can improve your canopy flying and landing. What's wrong with my landings? I worked out some theories on my own, and talked to an instructor, but the book had some additional theories that explained things really well.

Congrats!

I agree, but there are ways to protect yourself that doesn't involve shutting yourself into your house and talking to no one.

... in a galaxy far, far away. BTW, freeflying has to be good excercise too. The air is slippery! Or is running the only option? Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?
